color in the glass. My notes reflect my impressions of the wine when tasted two days after opening.
Seductive aromas of cherry, strawberry and spice lead to an elegantly composed wine with vibrant
flavors of cherry and strawberry. Suave tannins, noticeable mid palate intensity, and a remarkable finish
filled with sweet cherry and strawberry aromatic goodness.Score:94.
